Fédération Internationale Des Ingénieurs Conseils (FIDIC) Variation Order Clause

Abstract

To paraphrase the Greek philosopher Heraclitus, change is the only constant in construction projects. Changes in scope occur as projects progress from design through practical completion. FIDIC General Conditions Clause 13 [1] is one of the most important terms and implementing. It is also major factor for project success. Once all project parties understand and fairly use this clause, the impact will be minimising the expected disputes by 50% at least. Thus, this paper is considering illustrated variation order clause by flow chart technique to ensure that all the engineers are handling easily those subclasses. KeywordsVariation Order, FIDIC, VO, Change Order, Clause 13 Once all the contract parties got the same perception for the variation order, the minimum dispute will occur. This is our aim from this paper. Research Objective Variation OrderThere are only two facts in life: Death and Changes. Just like death, changes are going to occur by any means, so you have no choice other than accepting them and going along with the flow.
